100% of your donation will go to the cause you select:
Distribute across all programs: your donation is split between the three funds listed below in the ratio of 50% MPF, 40% Grant Program, 10% Operations Fund.
Mars Prize Fund (MPF): It will be awarded to the first team to send a human to the surface of Mars. The MPF is crowdfunded and designed to accelerate the first mission by offsetting some of the cost. Donations of $100 or more to the Mars Prize fund will pay for an entire mile of the first crewed trip to Mars!
Micro Grant Program: Provides small grants of about $200 to K-12 educators around the world. Teachers can buy supplies to help teach anything related to outer space.
Operations Fund: We are 100% run by volunteer power, but we do have some small expenses that need to be covered.
